Not just a pile of old stones

Walking the dog has a whole new dimension when it turns out to be such an adventure! Last week, I told you how I discovered a WWI bunker hidden in the forest. Well, it gets better.

On the same walk, I came across this! Can you guess what it is?

Yes, it is a dog, a weird-looking tree and a pile of stones!

But that pile of stones is not just a pile of stones. It is so much more…

You see, the pile of stones is actually a grave.

A grave from the Bronze Age. Now, this may not mean very much to you, but the Bronze Age came after the Stone Age – which makes this grave and these stones about 3,000 years old. That’s right: 3,000 years old!

And although the information board looks as if it, too, is ancient, I think that the fuzziness is just a result of the weather… I mean, it’s hard to look good in hail, sun, snow and ice!

Anyway, unlike rune stones which commemorate dead people, these stones actually cover the remains of 3,000-year-old corpses! According to the information, archaeologists removed the stones in order to see what was in the grave. But – once again – the harsh weather conditions have taken their toll and there is very little to see after three thousand years.

Now, is it just me – or is my dog really trying to hog all the limelight?
